L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue Apartment Rental Photos and Description

A newly refurbished apartment overlooking the River Sorgue in the lively town of L'isle sur la Sorgue. The bright and spacious second floor Loft has views towards Mont Ventoux to the North and over the ancient centre of the town to the South.

The living space is stylishly decorated with quality furnishings throughout with TV/DVD and French, English and other European channels. High speed Wi-Fi and internet phone is also provided. There is also a radio with and iPod docking station if you bring your own music. The kitchen is well equipped with a fan oven, cooking hob, dishwasher, large fridge with freezer compartment, washing machine/dryer and a Nespresso coffee machine.

Above the living space, on the open mezzanine, is a work desk area with printer. There are two single beds which due to access via a spiral staircase are unsuitable for young children.

The master bedroom has a 160cm (5.25ft) bed with pillow topped mattress and quality bedding and has views over the rooftops of the town. This bedroom has its own own en-suite shower room with WC and wash basin.

There is also a spacious separate bathroom with WC, wash basin and shower-over bath. This is ideal for couples who prefer the convenience of their individual bathroom space.

Free parking is available directly in front of the building and in the large car park a few steps away on the opposite side of the river. In a medieval town like L'isle sur la Sorgue, this is a real benefit.

About Richard Dye

My wife and I are Scottish property developers who moved to France in 2008. We have completed a number of projects in the area including the building the apartment is located in. We live just a few minutes away and are on hand to provide help and advice.

Richard Dye purchased this apartment in 2014

Why Richard Dye chose Provence

This property has the benefit of being recently renovated and is ideally located to allow access to all the towns services and attractions. There is ample parking close by if you have a car.

If you like the look and location of this apartment, but feel it is not large enough to accommodate your family or party, there is a solution. The entire building was renovated by us to the same high standard and some of the other apartments we sold upon completion are being rented out as holiday accommodation by the new owners. If you want to keep your entire group in one building I can arrange for the others to be located in one of the other apartments, this of course would depend on availability. I will not charge any commission for this service and payment would be made directly to the apartment owner.

Superb

We are so pleased that we picked this home for our stay in Provence. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our eight night stay. It was the perfect size for us and a luxury to each have our own full bathroom. We did not have need of the loft, but it was perfect for storing our luggage and was a positive addition for the look and feel of the apartment. The apartment is equipped with everything that is needed. Richard made us feel welcome, answered all our questions and checked in with us later in the week to make sure everything was perfect...and it was!

Excellent accommodation right in the centre of things. Outstanding!

We spent four fabulous nights in this wonderful loft conversion! The loft is a very recent conversion within a refurbed block and it tastefully appointed with a completely new fit out. Everything is fresh ,new and tasteful.

The owners are lovely and Richard could not be more helpful giving complete and fullsome explanations of all the lofts assets..... dishwasher, TV satellite, TV, cooker etc. Local amenities are outlined in a file in the loft and give a comprehensive local guide.

The accommodation is superb with great showers and a bath and a very comfortable bed downstairs (didn't use upstairs bed). Upstairs (open plan) is another bed and a desk/work area with a printer (handy for printing boarding passes, maps etc). There is full and fast wifi throughout.

The location is outstanding only a minutes walk into the town center where the real buzz of Isle can be enjoyed. There is free parking right across the road just past the ancient waterwheel and the river (30 seconds walk). This is an ideal location.

Owner's Response: Dear Jonny and Ann,
Thank you for your kind words, we really appreciate it when guests take the time to allow others to share their experience of the apartment.
As you had experienced, we informed you when booking that the apartment was not large enough to accommodate your entire family comfortably. The solution was to place your sons in the adjacent apartment which was also refurbished by us to the same standard and has been sold to a colleague who now rents it out. Future guests who want to rent our place, but may be put off because of the size of their family or party may wish to consider this option. I will amend the lettings websites to explain this.
Once again, thanks for your review and we hope you will find the time to visit us again at some time in the future.

Great stay in L'isle sur la Sorgue

We enjoyed Richard's lovely apartment in L'isle sur la Sorgue. The apartment was spacious and very comfortable, with nice furnishings and decor. The location was superb: quiet and with a view of "our own" water wheel and Mont Ventoux in the distance, but just a short walk from the center of town, restaurants, shops, and other amenities. It was quite hot when we were there, but the many windows provided a nice breeze and kept it comfortable. We didn't use the loft space, but it would have been great had our friend been able to visit. Richard was very responsive and helpful, quickly answering any questions we had. Public parking in front and just across the river was very handy.

Owner's Response: Many thanks for your considerate review, we are delighted that you enjoyed your stay. This is our first season of renting the loft, after renovating the entire building, and we welcome any comments or suggestions that will add to visitors experience of the property.
Since your vacation we have installed a portable air conditioning unit to keep the temperature at a comfortable level. Because of the age and historical importance of the building we were forbidden to mount air conditioning units on the exterior walls.
Due to its position and amenities the town has a lot to offer to visitors to the area and we are delighted that we have been able to add to your experience of the region.
Richard.

There are almost too many activities to mention but if you have an interest or hobby not listed, or if you want more information on those that are, please get in touch and we will use our local knowledge to do research.
